"Too Dead for a Dog"

—for Peter Goedhart

Though my friend did say 
Exactly that about that up-

Side down bloated

Carcass as we drove past,

I wonder if he really believed

Something could be too dead;

I mean dead is dead and there’s

No too about it, though 

Strangely enough, his phrase keeps 
Running through my mind where 
It continues to keep me wondering,

Its strangeness too, too alive.
